Habang naglalakad patungo sa classroom nila ay kanina pa tumatakbo sa isip ni Aisha ang huling sinabi ni Sven bago ito umuwi kahapon. What is so complicated in liking her? As far as she can remember, she have been a good friend to Sven. What’s so complicated about her?She chuckled at her own thoughts. Why is she trying so hard to deny it? She wasn’t dense and Sven was already making his moves more obvious every passing day. She didn’t have to pretend that she didn’t notice how Sven always tries to tell her his feelings for her. However, they only knew each other for a few months. Was it enough to call it romance? What if it was just a passing crush? She didn’t want to risk an indispensable friendship.“What are you thinking?” Nagulat siya sa biglang pag-sulpot ni Sven sa likod niya. He even tried to take her bag from her but she held onto it tightly. Sumimangot naman ang binata sa ginawa niya pero hinayaan naman siya nito. &ld

“Here.” Nagtatakang tinignan ni Scar si Stanley nang may ilapag itong maliit na kahon sa harapan niya.“What’s that?” pang-uusisa ni Meth na katabi lamang niya. Maging ang mga kasama nila ay nagtataka dahil sa kakaibang ikinikilos nito.“Open it,” he lazily said as he sat next to Bryce who is busy with his newfound hobby which is reading.Nag-aalangang kinuha niya ang kahon at binuksan ito. She was stunned because inside the box is a moon-shaped earring. Just by the looks of it, she is sure that the earrings are made of white gold and the gems shaped like the crescent moon are made of diamond. Maging si Meth ay nagdududang napatingin kay Stan nang masilip nito ang kahon.“What’s that gift for?” tanong ni Meth na tila ba alam kung anong nasa isip niya. Maging siya ay tumingin nang may pagtataka. There was no reason for him to give her a present. Was it because he thought she was sad yesterday?

“Stop it already,” disappointed na sabi ni Stan kay Scar na ngayon ay pinapanood si Sven na akayin si Aisha palayo sa kanila.Scar gave him an exasperated look. She even looked at Meth and Bryce who also seemed disappointed with what she did then she realized that only Stephen was on her side.“Why is everyone defending her?” sabi niya at may hinanakit na tinignan isa-isa sina Bryce at Meth.“Because it’s obvious that you are wrong this time,” mahinang sabi ni Meth at yumuko. She had been friends with Scarlet for long as they could remember and it somehow felt like they betrayed her. However, they couldn’t just tolerate her.“What did I do wrong? I just told everyone the truth. That girl isn’t an angel!” giit ni Scar.“What do you know about her?” sabat naman ni Stanley.Her knees felt weak when Stan looked at her with pain in his eyes. Was he hurt because she slan

“Father, you called for me?” tanong ni Stephen nang makapasok ito sa opisina ng ama. Tumango ito kaya naman dire-diretso na siyang lumapit sa desk nito.“Stephen Styx…” Mr. Harrison gritted his teeth as he looked at his son’s ignorant face.“Yes, Father?”Hindi niya inaasahan na isang malakas na sampal ang matatanggap niya mula sa kaniyang ama kaya naman gulat na napatingin siya rito. Why did his father suddenly slap him? Bumwelo ulit ito at sinampal naman siya sa kabilang pisngi. Wala siyang nagawa kundi damhin ang namamanhid na pisngi dahil sa sampal nito.“Why? Why did you have to cause trouble again?” Gigil na hinaklot ng kanyang ama ang kwelyo niya. “Last time, you messed up with the Steinhart's, now you messed up with the Morrisons while I’m in the middle of negotiating with them! If you can’t do anything good then just stop causing trouble for me!”Napadaing

“Is the chairman still hiding you from the public?” tanong ni Mr. Takamura habang naglalakad sila papunta sa President’s Office. Hawak-hawak nito ang bag niya kaya naman halos lahat ng estudyanteng madadaanan nila ay napapatingin sa kanila.“I asked for it,” sagot niya naman.After the death of her mother, her grandfather sent her to Korea to study and get over it. Since then, she had been hidden and she took the name Aisha Mori. Dahil itinago na rin naman ng lolo niya ang totoo niyang pangalan ay doon siya nagkalakas ng loob na magrebelde. She was full of hatred back then and since she can’t harm her mother’s name because she carried a new one, she became a monster.Kung tutuusin, mas malala pa ang pambubully na ginawa niya sa Korea kung ikukumpara sa mga ginawa sa kanya ni Scar. She also did a pancake party in the restroom, she even pulled a prank on a classmate and locked her up in the classroom after class and she al
